Feint and Strike

This quest becomes available after completing Men of the Blue Tattoos. Speak with Baderon on the Upper Decks at X11-Y11. You will be given a message, so take it North to the Commodore, but upon doing so, you will be informed of a large attack and must make haste towards Swiftperch.

Head to Western La Noscea and speak with Ryssfloh at X34-Y32. Doing so will enter you into an instance battle. There will be many pirates, but few will bother focusing on you. Attack the lower level ones first, they will be around 14 to 15. Kill each one, and then shortly after a second group will arrive. Repeat the slaying process, and that will leave their leader standing.

Attack him, but be warned, once he gets to about 35% HP, he summons a voidsent. Turn and start attacking the flying demon as he is going to attack you instead of an NPC. He isn't tough, but use caution as always, avoiding AoE's and having potions at the ready.

You may think the fight over, but you would be wrong. The masked mage will step out and engage you now. He summons a large white demon to battle you with. When the fight begins, don't move. Let the demon come to you. This will cause the mage to stand back and not engage you. The white demon has a lot of health but isn't overly tough. A potion might be needed during the fight, but other than that, just hammer away at him until he falls. After that, approach the mage and begin fighting him. His magic hits a bit harder, but an NPC ally will show up during this part of the battle, so again, the fight shouldn't cause much issue, just be prepared to use a potion should an emergency arise.

Upon killing the mage, return to the Upper Decks and speak with Reyner to complete the quest.
